The ZETAS are now the largest drug cartel in Mexico, Chapo's Sinaloa Cartel is now in second place

REPORTING FROM MEXICO

We woke up this morning to the unfortunate news that the "El Chapo Guzman" Sinaloa Cartel was no longer the largest cartel organization in Mexico - the Zetas are the new number #1. In most countries you wake up to hear about political squabbling, the daily accident report or simply the weather. In Mexico we went overnight from death to more death.

Mexicans could put up with the lesser of two evils, but now that the Zetas are the #1 criminal organization in Mexico, one can only imagine how this is all going to end up.

I got my information not from a Mexican newspaper, although they are buzzing with this news item, I read it off a newspaper in Argentina:

About Me

My name pen name is John Reed and obviously I cannot disclose my location in Mexico. I can share with you that I am an American that has been down here close to a decade. I have traveled to every Mexican state. All of my posts are my personal viewpoints and are intended for people back in the U.S. Last but not least, if you do not live in Mexico you cannot know what the Mexican people are facing in this drug war. The Drug Cartels, the Zetas and the Corruption within the Mexican Government are the criminals here, not the Mexican Military which is the only credible institution in Mexico. If you cannot handle this personal observation, as a person that has witnessed what I just stated, this blog is not for you. I speak what I know.
